Self Destruction Themes is a glowing success for Wordclock and a sign that he may be the most important new artist on Cryo Chamber to follow, and indeed one of the most gifted young artists in the dark ambient genre. This claim is all the more justified when looking at the attention and praise Wordclock has received from veterans like Simon Heath and Robin Finck. Self Destruction Themes is easily recommended to listeners of many different musical styles, given its blending of classical, dark ambient, industrial, ambient, and idm elements into one impressive album.
